Question 790
A wireless voice call has low RSSI but the WLAN team tries to repair it solely with DSCP priority rules. Which ongoing operational safeguard best reduces the chance of recurrence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is a continuing control for the failure mode in which traffic priority cannot compensate for unusable wireless link quality. It complements the immediate fix instead of relying on a one-off correction.
Incorrect Answers
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a wireless network has high airtime consumption from low legacy data rates despite moderate user counts. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a video conferencing application uses DSCP AF41, but a policy rewrites all traffic to best effort at the distribution layer. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a voice deployment marks DSCP EF at its phones but the access switch does not trust or preserve the marking on ingress. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
